Why is Anderson Cooper having Cornell West on his program? What is his relevancy?

As for West he seems really to be losing his mind.

Of course he is cutting down Biden and Harris, but I think he said he would vote for them, And at the same time being part of a new party that is opposed to the Democratic Party. He is rambling on so much it is ridiculous

I am very glad he isn’t endorsing the Biden/Harris ticket

The best line I heard was when he said “Harris isn’t radical, I am radical”

I kind of felt sorry for him because he really seems to have lost it

1. He once was a respected icon. Then he couldn't handle 8 years of Obama and the attention

and respect directed at him, so West had to react by tearing Obama down constantly. Now and after that, he is merely a sad, pathetic shell of what he once was, left to drop outrageous statements as his only way to regain attention. Narcissism is not confined to the RW, unfortunately.

2. Perfectly stated.

3. I remember Tavis Smiley reacted the same way after President Obama was elected

4. Maybe he was having a bad day, but he seemed to be really out of it
